Quite a few chapters last week that felt similar to the week before. That’s not a bad thing, it just means I don’t have much new to say about them, so I’ll just do the ones that were different (enough).
Ball Parade: The symbolism is strong in this one. I liked that they offered a real solution to his real problem, instead of just inspiring him to rediscover his love for baseball or some shit. Anyway, it looks like this one’s in the bag, looking forward to the next meeting.
WW: I liked the ‘monster face’ scene. I did not like the little brats, but at least she apologised. The mystery figure at the end has me intrigued.
I tell c: … The hell? Is that why they kept talking about two detectives? Because the other one was only in the story for this? Either way, I’m not feeling it. The first ***** was kind of contrived but still passable, the second one was pure tear-jerking and it doesn’t work because we barely know these characters and the reactions feel scripted (to me). Also, why are they even blaming Aioi for this? None of this was her fault, but they are choosing this time to suddenly have a problem with her?
Mashle: Strong emotional moment there. The proportions are getting a bit ridiculous though, Mash’ feet shouldn’t be twice as big as his head (and those yaoi hands o_o…). I was not expecting a Sound of Music reference here.
Dr stone: WHY did you not plan for this? And why aren’t you using Xeno as a hostage if you know they lost contact? My suspension of disbelief isn’t broken yet, but it’s starting to feel like a lot of people are acting more stupid than usual for the sake of drama, and that’s a dangerous thing to do in a series that hinges on the intellect of its characters.
C&D: I did not expect Gundams in this. I’m on board though.
Black Clover: Great chapter title. I liked most of the story, though the all too predictable ending was a bit of a let-down.
PS: This one is the opposite. The story is a bit more standard, but the ending worked much better for me. I really liked the use of dark and light for atmosphere here.
MHA: “The final act begins”, huh? I liked most of the chapter, but not the ending. It feels like we skipped some parts, and I hate that he’s leaving everyone behind. The students and their development was the best part about this manga, and now it looks like the rest of the series will be about a lone hero fighting gruesome war battles… If I was paying for this series, this is the point where I’d consider dropping it.
Sakamoto: Not bad, but a tad too over-the-top for my taste.
UU: Who wants what now? I’m so confused.
HSF: Whatever works for you.

It's incredible how much this series about building doesn't want to show any building(s), even on the cover.
"Climax & 23 p increase" sounds like the conclusion of the current fight to me. But we'll see.
